If I don’t lose skin, blood or gain a blister, I know I haven’t worked hard enough 😉 I get blisters quite regularly though and it seems to be window graphics and vans that do it, never when I’m making a sign or doing a floor … and its always my beer hand that suffers 🙁
Cheers, Dewi

That’s what happens Dewi when you get to work with your beer hands
-
Not me – just finished doing 500 3D domes
Besides – what’s Corrie?
I thought a corrie was where a glacier started 😮 also known as a tarn 😉
Mark
-
Mark! You’ve never had a corrie?
You should try tandoori down ‘ere its the biz!
Just joking!
A corrie: Its where minerals, marble, coal and even diamonds are mined

Well I must admit to being a bit dissapointed with Coronation Street tonight.
All the hype about Dev and his empire is a bit laughable. Do any of us Coronation Steet afficianados really care much about the swaggering Dev and his shops going up in flames (what does Sunita see in him :roll:) No of course not. We’re all much more interested in Ashleigh and his lovely fiance, or Steve and Karen. Even Cilla and Les are more likeable than the Grotesque Dev…..
er… Have I said too much?? 😳
-
OK
so its a bit far fetched that you would tear from shop to shop and not even think about calling the pleece.
But I fell in love with corrie after working on the set many years ago,
barely missed an episode since
Peter -
Yeah! I Agree with Marcella
You’ve said too much Phill :lol1:
I used to watch that stuff when I were a kid
Elsie Tanner, Ena Sharpels, Miss Nugent and Mr Papagopolos
Len Furklof and some othersHaven’t seen it for ages

Peterok ok so who where you? dont say hailey pleeeeze 😮 :lol1: :lol1:
.
-
No it was long before hailey. was in the days of stan and hilda though,
wasnt acting you fools, doing something with the video. 😛
Used to do Character parts but didnt have a continous work flow.
Nobody wanted a fat bald headed dwarf on a regular basis
peter 😉 -
Stan Ogden!!
Thats another
Who were the two dears who used to sit with Ena
-
martha longhurst and minnie coldwell
Shows my age dont it? -
Hilda Ogden was another
I’ve got the picture of her in me head – typical cleaning lady
-
I remember when fever and high expectation ran through the whole of Britain when it was the night that Ena Sharpels and Elsie Tanner were going to meet like two gun slingers in a shoot out
Boy did those tongues lash and cut
-
Minnie Caldwell
I used to feel sorry for the ol’ dear
so frightened in case she upset Ena
-
Nah!!!
The Mike , Deirdrie and Ken Love triangle must be the greatest storyline ever. When Ken Punched Mike this entire nation was gripped with excitement – during the advert break the National Grid almost went into melt down when everyone nipped into the kitchen to put the kettle on 😳
-
I remember Deirdre thinking her daughter had been squashed by a lorry crashing into the pub wall. I wish she HAD jumped in that river. Man, I hate Deirdre.
-
Tonights episodes were very dissapointing. was expectig more. think they are wearing it out. its getting a bit ragged at the edges.
Maybe I’ll forsake my almost daily dose of corrie for:-
IM A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE! -
More like “I would like to be a celebrity, please like me”. I hate that program; I hope the entire wannabe cast gets eaten by crocodiles. And snakes.
As for Eddie Yeats – without doubt one of the finest thespians ever to appear in an animated Beatles film. He lives near me.

quote Robert Lambie:what about stans mate eddie yeates?

Still does a bit in heartbeat, The 60’s never lasted as long as they do heartbeat, I Know, I was There.

quote big G:I remember Deirdre thinking her daughter had been squashed by a lorry crashing into the pub wall. I wish she HAD jumped in that river. Man, I hate Deirdre.
Well if she had been squashed by that truck, her daughter (Tracy) wouldn’t have gone on to become part of the Steve, Karen and Tracy love tirangle that is currently gripping the nation……….
er…:oops:
-
Or maybe she would have, considering the fact that they came down in the morning to a completely different daughter one day. How’s that happen? What about the Kevin/Sally/that woman with the BMW who does furniture ads love triangle? What about that one then?
-

After 4 pages of intelligent analysis of the Coronation Street plotlines of the 1970s I feel that we are at last using Rob’s webspace in a very constructive manner.
Just out of interest Rob, do you delete crap like this from the server when no-one’s looking? I hope so. 😀
-

very educational for other readers :lol1: -
4 pages!!!!!
It was Peter who said: looks a little quiet tonight, Thought I’d ask

On the bright side, it got us all posting again 😀 Its worth looking at Vera’s legs when you think she could be the key to global communications 😮
Cheers, Dewi

Alright, here goes (and don’t say I didn’t warn you)
Reg Holdsworth (actor Ken Morley) lives just down the road from me.
There, you see, I know something about Corporation Street 🙄
In a past job/life, I used to have ‘dealings’ with him on almost a weekly basis. Before anyone asks it had nothing to do with double glazing!!!
